Nikon 1 V3 review

A small, sleek and stylish CSC with a tilting touchscreen and Wi-Fi

Touchscreen ; Inbuilt Wi-Fi ; Sleek design

Nikon 1 V3 review

(Rating Hidden)

The Nikon 1 V3 is a sleek compact system camera (CSC) with a 18.4-megapixel resolution, 3-inch LCD touchscreen and wi-fi for sharing your photos. Its 1-inch sensor is slightly smaller than what's offered by most compact system cameras, but does that...

Nikon 1 V3 review

There's no denying that some aspects of the Nikon 1 V3 are impressive, particularly the super-fast AF and burst shooting speeds. That said, the V3 still seems quite a confused model when everything's taken into account. With numerous auto controls and...

Nikon 1 V3 interchangeable lens camera

This mirrorless compact camera packs excellent image quality, but its user-friendliness isn't great

Very good image quality ; Plenty of dials and buttons

No built-in EVF ; No exposure preview ; Electronic zoom ; Awkward manual focusing

While the the Nikon 1 V3 with the 1 Nikkor VR 10-30mm PD-ZOOM lens gives you control dials for managing the aperture and shutter values, they aren’t enough to make us deviate from the perception that this camera is better suited to compact-style users...
